George Clooney has been voted Britain’s sexiest TV medic…even though it’s more than 20 years since he regularly played Dr Doug Ross in hospital drama ER.
Hollywood A-lister Clooney beat Nurse Trixie Franklin (Helen George} from Call The Midwife and Casualty’s Dr Connie Beauchamp (Amanda Mealing) in a viewers’ poll to find the most fanciable screen medic.
Also in the Top Ten are Dr Greg House (Hugh Laurie) from House, Martin Clunes as Dr Ellingham in Doc Martin, and even TV veteran Charlie Fairhead (Derek Thompson) in Casualty.
The poll by Two Point Hospital, the critically acclaimed management simulation game, also looked at the nation’s favourite medical shows. Top billed was Call The Midwife, followed by Casualty and the India-based drama Good Karma Hospital.
In-time of the launch of Two Point Hospital on consoles, the research has confirmed Brits are fascinated with the goings on within hospital walls both in fiction and real life.
Comedian and broadcaster Matt Richardson, who is supporting the launch of Two Point Hospital, says: “Hospitals are fascinating places and it seems we can’t get enough of them on our screens! It’s amazing George Clooney still tops the list 20 years on! With Two Point Hospital launching on consoles, it means you can now have your own, more unusual, hospital in your pocket – perfect for when 24 Hours In A&E isn’t on our screens! The game is good fun, very much less serious than managing a real hospital and give you the chance to cure some very unusual illnesses!”
